THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1916
3
THE GOVERNOR'S
SCENT OF BATTLE
Considerable of a sensation was
caused in National Guard circles
last week by a cablegram sent by
Governor Pinkham to the secre
tary of war stating that the mili
tary organization of the Islands
was ready for a call to duty it
being assumed that the Governor
had the Mexican situation in mind
as a possible field lor the activities
of the loctl militia. The Honolulu
Star Bulletin, which is supposed
at times to speak for the Governor,
has the following explanation of
the famous cablegram:
Governor Pinkham's cablegram
to the war department yesterday
expressed the willingness of the
National Guard of Hawaii to per
form such duty, if any, as the de
partment sees fit to ask of it. The
war department knows quite as
well as anyone else what duty the
militia is able to undertake,
In sending his cablegram, the
governor merely voices the patrio
tic sentiment of H waii and the
guard to the war department at a
time when the militia of border
states are called on for patrol work.
There will be no such misinter
pretion of his cablegram in Wash
ington as is evident in this morn
ing's paper.
When the first troops were or
dered into Mexico, state after state
came forward offering the ser
vice of its militia. Illinois, we be
lieve, was the first and the entire
state took pride in the fact that it
was the first. The offers were not
made in a vainglorious spirit, but
merely to express the willingness
of the state troops to do what they
might be called upon to do; and
at a time when peace-at any-price
advocates and hair trigger critics
of the national government are
only too ready to preach seditious
obstiuction and dangerous divi
sion of sentiment, the prompt res
ponse of the state authorities car
ried with it the assurance of an
united commonwealth in a time of
national crisis.

ONE QUALITY
LATEST LETTER OF
WILLETT 6 GRAY
The last letter of Willet & Gray,
the sugar authorities, contains the
following comments on the sugar
situation:
"Nowithstanding this fact, the
receipts of, sugar in the United
States are less than the require
ments for meltings, and the avail
able stock is reduced. Although
the present high price may be
ascribed as unusual to the effect of
sugar supply and demand, yet it
is more directly traceable to the
fact that Cuba has no competition,
owing to scarcity of ocean tonnage
and almost prohibitive freight
rates from Java, the only large
sugar crop that could compete
with sugars from Cuba. It ap
pears as if all the Cuban hold
ers had to do was to name a sell
ing price, and if said price was
not immediately obtainable, a
wait of only a few days resulted
in obtaining the basis asked.
"The demand for refined sugar
for both domestic and export use
shows no special falling off or in
dications of any decrease which
permits the accumulation of sur
plus supplies of raw sugar, and
until such surplus does begin to
accumulate prices should continue
to remain firm if not show advanc
ing trend. .
"Looking backward to other pe
riods of high prices, we find that
the rises in values have been
checked by some cause at about
the present level."
Of the situation in Europe the
report says.
"The Austrian government has
commanded the farmers to increase
their beet sowings, but some re
ports mention an increase of only
five per cent. Holland expects an
increase of about ten per cent in
sowings. In Germany it is diffi
cult to increase the sugar beet
acreage because of the high prices
obtaining for potatoes and other
food crops. Denmark produced
125.000 tons in the 1915-16 beet
campaign. Refined sugar in France
is selling at 9.19? per lb. whole
sale, and at 11.38? per lb. retail.'
